I'd bet most people are partial to their favorite team's mascot and I do like the Bird and Toro the Texans' bull. But for sheer talent Clutch the Rocket bear is the best I've ever seen. He did a show at are school a few years ago and was fabulous. He is quite a character both in and out of costume.

Well, you definitely know where Dawgbones, a Phillies Phan stands. Yeah, I'm a bit Phanatical when it comes to my mascots. And I'm also partial to Riptide, right here in Norfolk. But I've got to say, I love all the mascots.

GReat cards Fuji, might I inquire where you acquired this set? and you are right about the auto, Asian calligraphy is always so fancy!

A few months ago... a Japanese website called Rakuten: Global Market was offering free shipping on international orders, so I ordered a bunch of stuff for my Japanese PC. I held off on opening it until my birthday.

I have to be very subjective on this one. My national football team - SLBenfica - has as mascot a living eagle and every home games they let her flies over the stadium and land on top of clubs symbol in middle of the field.But mascots like those you have on US we don't see much around here. And I cannot recall seeing some mascot at Yankee stadium too...

The Yankees used to have a mascot but he got the boot 5 minutes later. I think the Yankees's mascot is either Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle at this point.Anyway, my favorite mascot goes to Scooter The Holy Cow, mascot for the Staten Island Yankees (short season A affiliate of the Yankees). His name comes from Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto and kids love him at games. A close second would be Dorara (the mascot for the Chunichi Dragons). Hopefully I didn't get his name wrong.

I guess mine would be the Phillie Phanatic due to the many clips of him / it in the old TWIB show. BTW, I do like that the back is all in Japanese, but there's no translation for Certificate of Authenticity.

About Me

I've been collecting cardboard off and on since the early 80's. I'm presently collecting. But who knows what the future holds in store for me.
One thing is for certain... I'll have my blog to help relieve some of my favorite hobby moments.
